6-3 System Fans
Three 8-cm hot-swap chassis fans and two 8-cm exhaust fans provide the cooling
for the SuperServer 6037R-E1R16N. It is very important that the chassis top cover
is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate
properly through the chassis and cool the components. See Figure 6-2.
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,
the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on
the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience
with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).
Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which
of the fans has failed.
Replacing System Fans
Removing a Fan
1. Remove the chassis cover.
2. Depress the tab on the side of the fan to unlock and remove the fan along
with its housing. The fan's power connections will automatically detach.
3. System power does not need to be shut down since the fans are hot-plugga-
ble.
Installing a New Fan
1. Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro, p/n FAN-0070L).
2. Position the new fan into the space vacated by the failed fan previously re-
moved. A "click" can be heard when the fan is fully installed in place and the
power connections are made.
3. If the system power is on, the hot-plug feature will cause the fan to start im-
mediately upon being connected to its header on the serverboard.
Rear Exhaust Fans
The two rear exhaust fans are also hot-swappable. To remove, depress the tab on
the side of the fan to unlock it, then pull it staight up and out of the chassis.

6-2 Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. A
ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect
the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit
board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all excess
cabling out of the airflow path. The LEDs inform you of system status. See Chap
-
ter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be
found in Chapter 5.
